Self-Care for Vaginal Health & Intimate Skin Care

Send us a text The skin around the vaginal area is very sensitive, so it's important to use vaginal care products that don't contain harsh ingredients.Women age differently than men. As estrogen levels decline, so does natural lubrication. Many women experience this prior to or during menopause, but it can impact a woman at any age. Diminished estrogen can lead to external and internal vaginal dryness and vaginal atrophy, resulting in undernourished, under-hydrated, aged skin that leads many women to experience daily personal discomfort, diminished interest in intimacy and a lack of sexual spontaneity. The skin around the vaginal area is very sensitive, so it's important to use vaginal care products that don't contain harsh ingredients. Skin care designed for the face or body can cause irritation and discomfort when applied to the delicate skin of the vaginal area.
